This morning marks the start of the Magic Millions Yearlings Sale on the Gold Coast, a time which Dynamic look forward to every year. Dean Watt and Dynamic have had plenty of success at the MM sales in the past as it is the place where we have found a number of our stakes winners.
The Magic Millions Sales begin today
The first four months of the year is always extremely busy in the Dynamic offices however there is none more busy than the month of January. Every year in the month of January we have numerous horses running (which is to be expected) however we also have the Australian sales season beginning. Before every yearling sale, we put in hours and hours of behind the scenes work before even thinking about buying a horse. The first major sale that we see occurs on the Gold Coast at the Magic Millions Sale which begins at 11am today.
Our time up on the Gold Coast is always extremely exciting as not only do we get to see some brilliant yearlings but we see the first of the big 2yo races of the season, the 2yo Magic Millions Classic. This takes places on the Saturday after the main sales finish and it carries prizemoney that many owners have their mind on right from the time they arrive at the sale ring. Managing Director Dean Watt has previously won the Million Dollar Classic with superstar colt, Bradbury Luck. Winning the big races like this is a feeling that needs to be experienced to truly be described. Racehorse ownership with Dynamic could be your opportunity at winning the big races as we have done time and time again. Dynamic will once again be active at the sales and has been busily inspecting horses over the past week in an attempt to try and find our next champion.

Over the Christmas break, it has been all work and no play with 900 catalogued lots set to go through the ring over the coming week. At Dynamic, we put in plenty of time and effort into every single one of the yearlings which make their way to the sale yard. Even before we get to the sales, we make sure that we have a list of yearlings to inspect which are bred on the right crosses to maximise your chance at racetrack success. This year has been no different and after the various steps which have taken weeks of preparation, our process is in its final stage. We have whittled our number down from 900 to 27 horses which have subsequently been x-rayed by Dynamic contracted veterinarian, Tim Roberts and are set to go through the ring over the coming days.
The Magic Millions race series carries some of the best bonuses in all of racing for owners to cash in on. This year’s catalogue features some wonderfully bred horse by leading sires throughout Australasia. Strong forward, early maturing individuals are the hallmark of this sale which is why it has built such an imposing record for producing Golden Slipper winners over the years.
Since 2000, the following Golden Slippers have all been sourced from Magic Millions - Pierro, Phelan Ready, Sebring, Stratum, Dance Hero, Polar Success, Ha Ha and Belle Du Jour – not a bad tally! This year's catalogue features the usual treasure trove of talent starting with big drafts (numbers are Sessions One to Four) by our leading sires including Fastnet Rock (36), Flying Spur (29), More Than Ready (28), Snitzel (24), Stratum (20), Encosta de Lago (19), Exceed and Excel (19), Lonhro (16), Commands (15) and Redoute's Choice (13).
In 2012 at the Gold Coast, we saw the first progeny of Widden Stud's impressive first season sire Northern Meteor and given the early success achieved by him in siring promising winners, their stock are sure to be in keen demand again this year. Northern Meteor has 20 yearlings on offer which were all looked at closely by Dynamic Syndications!
